Norwegian Jews and half-Jews continue to escape from Nazi-controlled Norway into Sweden, the press here reported today. They are being cared for by a special office established to aid refugees escaping from Norway. More than 10,000 such refugees, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are being aided by this office at present.
The Swedish radio at Motala in a broadcast to the Swedish people today reported that leaders of the church in Norway reiterated their protest against the Nazi persecution of Jews in a New Year’s message which was read from the pulpits in many churches. Condemning Quisling’s oppression of the Jews in Norway, the message emphasized that “no answer has been received to the appeal which the clergy and Christian-minded Norwegians recently addressed to Vidkun Quisling in connection with the treatment of the Jews.”
